Chris welcomes back to the show wrestling writer, podcaster and ex-WWE Magazine editor Brian R. Solomon to discuss his newest release 'Irresistable Force', the long-awaited biography of wrestling icon Gorilla Monsoon.Monsoon was a larger-than-life character on- and off-screen and the voice of an entire generation of wrestling fans growing up in the 80s and 90s, but his story is one that has never been told in full - until now, and Brian Solomon is the man for the job.In this episode, Brian discusses the reasons behind wanting to bring Gorilla's story to the masses, the people he worked with to make it happen and the challenges in piecing together such a storied life and career, which included in-ring rivalries with Bruno Sammartino, becoming one of the key figures at the top of Capitol Wrestling alongside Vince McMahon Snr. and of course his legendary on-screen moments and real-life friendship with Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan.'Irresistable Force' is available to buy as of 30th September in the US, and due for release in the UK around November 2025.For his latest and upcoming news and events, be sure to follow Brian's social media pages and website:Website: https://brianrsolomon.wixsite.com/authorFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/BrianSolomonWriterInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/brianrsolomon/X: https://x.com/brianrsolomon#OnceUponATurnbuckle #podcast #interview #BrianRSolomon #GorillaMonsoon
